Posttragal incision in a male is possible but with caution

I think all of the previous respondents are correct in their assessments.In summary - you can place a facelift incision 'in the ear' but in a male you should be careful. I would make the same assumption as Dr. Jafri that you are questioning a male facelift. If you notice just in the front of the ear there is a 'no man's' land. The beard stops about a centimeter in front of the ear. If you bring this back all the way to the ear and onto the tragus, this can look unnatural. In some cases, hair removal techniques are needed to hide the hair movement. In my experience, making the incision about half way in this 'no man's' land produces a natural and hidden result, even for men.
